Will Skycrapers Save the Planet? Building Height Limits and Urban Greenhouse Gas Emissions

Borck, Rainald - 2021

This paper studies the effectiveness of building height limits as a policy to limit greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. It shows that building height limits lead to urban sprawl and higher emissions from commuting. On the other hand, aggregate housing consumption may decrease which reduces emissions...

On International Equity Weights and National Decision Making on Climate Change

Anthoff, David; Tol, Richard S. J. - 2021

Estimates of the marginal damage costs of carbon dioxide emissions require the aggregation of monetised impacts of climate change over people with different incomes and in different jurisdictions. Implicitly or explicitly, such estimates assume a social welfare function and hence a particular...

The impact of carbon disclosure mandates on emissions and financial operating performance

Downar, Benedikt; Ernstberger, Jürgen; Reichelstein, Stefan - 2020

We examine whether a disclosure mandate for greenhouse gas emissions creates stakeholder pressure for firms to subsequently reduce their emissions. For UK-incorporated listed firms such a mandate was adopted in 2013. Using a difference-in-differences design, we find that firms affected by the...

Climate change and the irreversibility effect : combining expected utility and maximin

Lange, Andreas - 2002

based on a weighted average of expected utility (EU) and the MaxiMin criterion. I first show that more weight on the worst … case (less weight on EU) may lead to increased first period emissions. The effect of learning possibilities on emissions is …, considering prospective learning increases today s abatement effort, i.e. the irreversibility effect holds, if the weight on EU is …

Uncertainty about carbon impact and the willingness to avoid CO2 emissions

Pace, Davide Domenico; Imai, Taisuke; Schwardmann, Peter; … - 2023

With a large representative survey (N=1,128), we document that consumers are very uncertain about the emissions associated with various actions, which may affect their willingness to reduce their carbon footprint. We experimentally test two channels for the behavioural impact of such...

Addressing the Climate Problem : Choice between Allowances, Feed-In Tariffs and Taxes

Amundsen, Eirik S. - 2018

Instruments chosen to pursue climate related targets are not always efficient. In this paper we consider an economy with three climate related targets for its electricity generation: a given share of “green” electricity, a given expansion of “green” electricity, and a given reduction of...

Climate Policies : A Burden or a Gain?

Bréchet, Thierry; Tulkens, Henry - 2021

That climate policies are costly is evident and therefore often creates major fears. But the alternative (no action) also has a cost. Mitigation costs and damages incurred depend on what the climate policies are; moreover, they are substitutes. This brings climate policies naturally in the realm...

The green Paradox and Learning-by-Doing in the renewable energy sector

Nachtigall, Daniel; Rübbelke, Dirk T. G. - 2014

The green paradox conveys the idea that climate policies may have unintended side effects when taking into account the reaction of fossil fuel suppliers. In particular, carbon taxes that will be implemented in the future induce resource owners to extract more rapidly which increases present...

Climate change mitigation : how effective is green quantitative easing?

Abiry, Raphael; Ferdinandusse, Marien; Ludwig, Alexander; … - 2022

We develop a two sector incomplete markets integrated assessment model to analyze the effectiveness of green quantitative easing (QE) in complementing fiscal policies for climate change mitigation. We model green QE through an outstanding stock of private assets held by a monetary authority and...
